Monumento Y Museo De La Revolución: Overview

March 17 2023

This was the Big Thing I really wanted to see in Mexico City.

People who know me know that I, if prompted at all, will not shut the fuck up about history. Because of that, I’m going to try to do this in some phases that follow the monument we visited on March 17:

2. Maduro: fake friends
3. The Constitutionalists: no fuck YOU dad
4. Carranza and Cárdenas: everyone was tired
5. The monument: why it is both sad and hilarious
6. SPECIAL FEATURE: they had a temporary exhibit about anarchists/socialists
